What is a common issue with EPS files?

• A. They are widely supported on all platforms.
• B. They always load instantly in browsers.
• C. They are editable without design software.
• D. They have limited web use and some compatibility issues.

Answer: (D)

EPS is a vector format designed for print, containing PostScript instructions that describe shapes and text. The main issue is that it isn’t natively supported by most web browsers or many platforms, so EPS files can’t be viewed directly online. You often have to convert them to a web-friendly format (like SVG, PNG, or PDF) or use specialized software to view them, which leads to limited use on the web and compatibility problems across different systems. That’s why this option best describes a common issue with EPS files. Editing EPS usually requires design software, and it isn’t something you can reliably do in a basic viewer, so the other statements don’t fit.
